St Peter's Church Flagpole

In 2011 the flag pole was removed from the top of the tower because it was found to be so rotten that it could not safely support the weather vane.

Without the flagpole the church was not properly protected by the lightning conductor. However we regilded weather vane and held it in safe keeping awaiting a new pole

Sadly the grant applications submitted by AIR (the Association for the Improvement of Runnymede) were all turned down so we had to raise the £11.5k ourselves.

Thanks to the generousity and hard work of many this was done and the church now has a brand new pole.
